Go to the "pueblo" or "på hytta"

Whoever has a place with views of the mountain, some vineyards, a fig tree ... surrounded by the soft sound of nature ... can gain strength to handle the stress of the city. And now in spring or in fact summer, the countryside and the towns of Spain show their fertility, which is materialized in fruits such as orange medlars and also figs that are still green ...


Norway, having a "cabin" used to be for the few, but today it is much more common. There are families who have it in the mountains (ideal for skiing in winter, but also for hiking the rest of the year), or near the sea (to enjoy the maritime views, and perhaps practice water sports or go out and about in pleasure-boats).
Both types used to be pretty straightforward and simple. Often you had to fetch water from a well, the "toilett" was not of the kind with water..., no electricity. But that was nice. Going back to simple ways and being close to nature prevailed. But nowadays people have authentic palaces hyperconnected to internet, heated floors, hotwater shower, hot tubs outside, and with the same comforts as their homes. And yes, they can drive all the way up to the entrance door.


In Spain, going to "el pueblo" the village, used to mean going back to the family's place of origin. Maybe where the parents or grandparents still reside. And not always in places with the comforts of modern, new homes in cities.
In the pueblo children ran freely through the streets, and the parents could unworryingly forget about them, perhaps having a drink at the bar. All the towns, how small they may be, all have one or more bars ...

Pretty sure there is a bar here.
